Ajinomoto launches Calcium-rich Rice Topping Mix

In a bid to be the pioneer in providing rice topping mix in the Philippines, AJINOMOTO PHILIPPINES CORPORATION (APC) launched AJI SAVOR™ on Rice in a press conference in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. AJI SAVOR™ ON RICE is a delicious and affordable way to add calcium to one’s diet. Inspired by Japanese Furikake, this product contains a blend of ready-to-eat dried umami food ingredients, like malunggay leaves, toasted sesame seeds, and meaty beef or chicken flavored granules that is used to season rice. Each pack can be conveniently sprinkled and mixed in a cup of rice.

Kuya “Omurice” Sawa, a Japanese who went viral for selling omurice or fried rice omelette to help street children, was invited to co-host the event. Kuya san talked about the popularity of Furikake among Japanese children and his excitement about the launch of AJI SAVOR™ in the local market.

Since rice is a staple food in the Philippines, this product hopes to add more calcium into the diet of Filipinos. In its 8th National Nutrition Survey, the Food and Nutrition Research Institute recorded high inadequacies of calcium intake across all age groups. However, this is particularly alarming for younger population since calcium is one of the key nutrients required for proper growth and development. AJI SAVOR™ contains 385mg of calcium, which is comparable to the calcium you get in drinking a glass of milk.

Young celebrity endorsers, Chunsa Jung, Sophia Reola and Marco Masa are present during the JPOP and Kyaraben (Character Bento) Party organized by Ajinomoto. They led everyone to dance to the beat of the new AJI SAVOR™ jingle featured in the product’s TV Commercial. The jingle made use of the catchy PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) tune popularized by Japanese comedian Daimaou Kosaka. 

One of the event highlights is the Kyaraben boxed-lunch making activity where media guest and their children joined Ajinomoto’s Culinary Nutrition team in making delicious meals that are a feast to both the eyes and the tongue.

As a food company, Ajinomoto utilizes its technical expertise to enhance the quality of life of Filipinos by offering delicious, safe and quality food products and promoting proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle. 

Kids also had fun playing at the giant inflatable Rainbow Slide, where they bonded and glided with Hetty and their playmates at the Jollitown’s most colorful park. Rainbow Slide

When we think about how many Filipino families spend quality bonding time in Jollibee, we came up with an idea to have an annual celebration for our Jolly Kids. This Children’s Month, we have the National Jolly Kids Day event to provide a venue for families to experience more joy-filled moments with their kids, and at the same time our Jolly Kids get to make new friends in a fun environment. - Ms. Charisse Sumulong, Jollibee Senior Marketing Manager & Head for Channels and Kids Marketing 

Chloe and Ricci received Jollibee giveaways after they completed tasks and had fun visiting all the booth activities and collecting stamps at each station.

Being an IT professional is not an easy task. My days at work are always quite busy, and there are times that even I was already at home IT works do follow me. Sometimes there's no escaping it making it hard for me to attend to my other personal tasks like paying the bills, taxes, online transactions, and other stuff.

Hardly do I ever find the time to go to a physical bank for my transactions because doing so takes too long every single time. The travel, the wait—it could get exhausting and frustrating and for sure my lunch break would not suffice.

That was until I discovered a mobile wallet GCash. My wife, raves so much about it; saying it’s super convenient, that paying the bills would be quick, and no more waiting in vain for long lines. Gcash is more than just a mobile wallet because transferring funds to all the major banks are doable here too!

GCash App on Android Phone

Bank Transfer and Paying the Bills in the jiffy is what got me Sold to downloading the app. I could also link my bank account to cash in and use the app to move funds to my layaway account!

I have already tried doing bank transfers through GCash and it was pretty amazing! I loaded my GCash with funds from my payroll account too, so that paying our household bills won't be too much stress for the wifey. and yep! She's happy! + the Send Money to Bank Account option is such a wonder too. GCash is linked to more than 40 banks, so most people would surely find their bank there and use the app for transactions.

There's also an option for savings called GSave, a tool that will help us remain committed to one's financial goals and has made saving so easy. This savings platform on the app, so that’s another avenue for me to save funds for my future.  

Thanks, Gcash for you really made our adulting tasks easier these days. Such as “lifesaver” for us too! Because now, I can use my time not for waiting in long lines, or traveling going to banks and another establishment to pay stuff but to do more about my precious time, to bond with my family.
